The Rise of the Consortium: A Game Changing Approach to Dementia Research.

MRC Technology, an independent UK-based medical research charity, has helped launch the Dementia Consortium – a £4.5 million partnership between charity and industry, in a bid to bring solutions to dementia patients quicker.
